local race of the present species. Gordon Gumming shot the roan 

 antelope just north of the Orange River in Griqualand West, where 

 it has for many years been exterminated. Nowhere abundant, the 

 species is most plentiful in Mashonaland and neighbouring districts ; 

 in the Transvaal it is only sparsely distributed. South of the 

 Orange River this group of antelopes was formerly represented by 

 the much smaller blaubok, or blue antelope {H. leucophcBus), long 

 since exterminated.
